So if we look at what drains your willpower, emotional regulation is one of our top willpower drains.

Suppressing your emotions, right?

So your emotions are much bigger, more intense.

And so keeping those in check causes lots of problems, drains you more than anything else.

And then you don't have anything left in the tank for like other things.

So in terms of these problems, you know, how do we approach this?

I think this is where a lot of understanding goes a long way.

Okay?

And a lot of adaptation becomes really important as well.

So this is why, you know, Michaela's holding a workshop where she talks about adulting.

Let me see if I can pull this up.

Right?

So, like, I love the title.

ADHD adulting, getting your shit together.

Yay.

That's what it's about.

But we're going to share some of these principles with y'all, okay?

There's a lot more skills-oriented stuff over there.

If you are an ADHD person, if you're a neuroatypical person who tries to force yourself to live a neurotypical life, it's going to be really exhausting.

So the amount of energy that you put in is not going to be commensurate with the yield that you get.
